Garaged whole life, 379 hours on new engine, very clean. They are asking $4995 w/ trailer, I'm very tempted. Is this a good boat, I/O combination & price?

Welcome to iboats.

Why is that a new engine? That is priced about twice as high as it should be. The Invader was a hair above the Bayliner in build quality in the mid 1980's and both were questionable at best. The original one had a 350/ 260HP motor and that one is only the 305.

It appears as if the owner wants to make back the money spent on repairs to the motor. I would not spend that kind of money on a 30 year old cuddy cabin. Cuddy cabins ALWAYS have a lower resale value.

Not a great boat when new and it is 30 now ~~ if he moved the decimal point over 2 places you may have a batgain.
